The video showed Deesha saying the typical lines 'Kannada baralva?' and 'Kannad alla Kannada', said by pro-Kannada people and locals targeting Hindi speakers. It showed a satirical day-in-the-life where the 'Bengalurean' behaved amicably with Kannada speakers and differently with 'North Indians'.

Demand grows for state film award in memory of Saroja Devi
Bengaluru: The Kannada film industry's evergreen 'Abhinaya Saraswati', the iconic B. Saroja Devi, may no longer be among us, but calls to immortalise her legacy are only growing stronger. Following her passing on July 14, senior actress and BJP leader Tara Anuradha has formally urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to institute a state film award in Saroja Devi's name to honour her unparalleled contribution to Indian cinema. On Wednesday, Tara met the Chief Minister at his official residence, Cauvery, and submitted a memorandum appealing to the government to recognise the late actress's six-decade-long service to the film industry through an annual award for excellence in cinema. Sharing photos of their meeting, the CM's official X handle confirmed that he has received the request and assured that the matter will be considered. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Tara said, 'B. Saroja Devi is not just an actress — she is an institution in herself. Her contribution to Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi cinema is unforgettable. An award in her name will inspire generations of artists.' The Chief Minister, who also spent time interacting with the public at his residence on the same day, reiterated his condolences for Saroja Devi's passing. In his earlier tribute post, Siddaramaiah had said, 'Her death is an irreparable loss to Indian cinema. She ruled the silver screen for decades with over 200 films in multiple languages. When we think of Saroja Devi, we remember her iconic performances in films like Kittur Chennamma, Babruvahana, and Annathangi.' Saroja Devi, who stepped into cinema at the age of 17, went on to become one of South India's most celebrated leading ladies, acting alongside the biggest stars of her time. Known for her grace, versatility and dignified screen presence, she set a world record by playing heroine roles in 161 films — a feat unmatched by any other actress of her era. When news of her death broke, her residence in Malleswaram saw an outpouring of tributes as people from across the industry, fans and political leaders gathered for her final rites. Tara, who paid her last respects then, said the Kannada film fraternity now wants the government to ensure Saroja Devi's name lives on through a prestigious state award. While the government is yet to make a formal announcement, industry insiders say there is widespread support for the move. Many believe that instituting an award for outstanding acting or lifetime achievement in Saroja Devi's name would be a fitting tribute to an artist who inspired countless actors and entertained millions for over six decades. As the Karnataka government considers the proposal, fans hope that the memory of the legendary actress will continue to shine, reminding future generations of the golden era she represented and the cultural pride she brought to Kannada cinema.

She made her debut portraying 'Kaveri' in the film Bulbul (2013), and has since appeared in television serials and music videos.

In a later interview, a tearful Rachita went viral as she emotionally recounted the toll the film had taken on her personal life. She described apologising to her parents by falling at their feet, acknowledging their distress. While she stated that she does not regret accepting the role, she empathises with her parents' views, noting that they continue to see her as their little girl.

'Junior' box office collections day 6: Genelia Deshmukh starrer mints Rs 7.65 crores; slows down
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Genelia Deshmukh 's Telugu film 'Junior' has maintained a steady presence at the box office through its first six days, collecting a total of Rs 7.65 crore across all languages. As reported by the Sacnilk website, after a decent opening weekend, the family entertainer experienced the usual weekday dip. The entertainer wrapped up its sixth day (Wednesday, July 23) with early estimates pegging the earnings at Rs 60 lakhs. The initial days showed promise, starting with Rs 1.5 crore on Friday, followed by Rs 1.8 crore on Saturday and a peak of Rs 2.2 crore on Sunday. Telugu and Kannada market trends The film saw mixed occupancy trends in its two primary markets — Telugu and Kannada. On Wednesday, Telugu occupancy across 2D shows stood at a moderate 15.58%. Morning shows drew a 13.97% turnout. The numbers slightly rose through the day with 14.43% in the afternoon, 15.67% in the evening. It peaked at 18.23% by night. What's ahead for 'Junior' If word-of-mouth and regional appeal continue to support it, Junior may still manage a respectable run despite slowing weekday numbers. For now, its total collection of Rs 7.65 crore serves as a fair outcome for a regional film driven by a mix of star power and youthful energy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Do you have a mouse? Desert Order Undo An excerpt from ETimes review for the film reads, "The film begins by focusing on college life and corporate culture, which may feel familiar and formulaic. However, it sets the stage for an emotionally rich second half, full of twists and heartfelt moments, as the story returns to the village, reconnecting with roots and understanding life from a parent's point of view. While the movie treads familiar ground, it reminds us that family dramas never go out of style. With strong emotional arcs and touching dialogues, it delivers a story that resonates with audiences of all ages." The film stars Genelia alongside Sreeleela, Kireeti Reddy, Rao Ramesh, Ravichandran Veeraswamy, and Achyuth Kumar.
